Restaurant · Norwich
Set in a period building next door to the cathedral in Tombland, this is a special-occasion sort of place that still manages to be warm rather than stuffy — the staff are attentive without hovering, patient with questions, and happy to steer you through the menu. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the set lunch is genuinely good value if you're feeding a family without a blowout bill. Portions are generous and beautifully presented; the steak comes cooked exactly as asked, and the desserts get the loudest praise — treacle tart with clotted cream ice cream, crème brûlée, black forest bomb. Worth knowing: tables sit close together and it can get loud when full, so a pram is a squeeze. Book ahead — the website just bounces you to OpenTable with an out-of-date menu.
